Museums of the University of St Andrews

Visit Say No!

The University of St Andrews is Scotland's first university, founded in 1413. Like the University, its Museums are rooted in and draw inspiration from this 600-year history of research and teaching, and the pursuit of knowledge for the common good.

The Museums' collections are of national and international interest and importance and consist of around 115,000 artefacts and specimens.

Museum collections are featured at the Wardlaw Museum and the Bell Pettigrew Museum, stored and studied in a dedicated Collections Centre, displayed across the University campus, and lent for exhibition nationally and internationally.

We need your perspective – help us to shape the future of our museums by telling us what matters to you. Fill out a short survey to tell us more about the stories, collections, exhibitions, events and online content you care about.
